"do what he thinks is best for the Canadian people, not his own virtue signaling,"
"I was on the call,"
"To be absolutely clear, and I said this to the president, I meant what I said in Davos."
A post‑Davos confrontation intensified between U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney over Carney's remarks about a 'rupture' in the world order. Bessent urged prioritizing Canadian interests over perceived virtue signaling and recounted participating in a follow‑up call with President Donald Trump, portraying Carney as softening his Davos stance. Ottawa presented the call differently, with Carney insisting he stood by his Davos comments, asserting that Canada recognized shifting U.S. trade policy, explained Canadian ties with China to Trump, and pursued a rapid slate of new trade deals across multiple continents.
